Al, Ayesha and Valerie find themselves a long way from The Mill when they go LARPing and do battle with all kinds of beasties!

It all goes a bit Dungeons and Dragons in Letherbridge today, when Dr Al Haskey, nurse Ayesha Lee and surgery receptionist Valerie Pitman go LARPing!

But while Al and Valerie are super-excited about trying out some Live Action Role Playing, Ayesha is regretting agreeing to join them. Especially when she's feeling hungover and can barely be bothered to make an effort with her costume!

However, as the fantasy adventure gets underway, Ayesha may be needed to come to the rescue when poor Valerie is struck down by a goblin and Al is defeated by an orc, Grognor!

Can Ayesha cast a spell and save the day?

He has reported LIVE from the red carpet at The British Soap Awards interviewing glammed-up stars from soapland, and hosted a Facebook LIVE session for Metro with Home and Away legend Ray Meagher (Alf "Stone the flamin' crows!" Stewart) to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Aussie soap.
